Helly Hansen Women's Legendary Insulated Ski Pants vs Obermeyer Malta Snow Pants
The Helly Hansen Legendary is the stronger technical pant: 15K/37K waterproof-breathability, fully taped seams, 60g PrimaLoft and thigh vents beat the Malta's 10K/10K fabric, 40g Thermore fill and Skier Critical seam sealing. The Malta counters with a fleece-lined adjustable waist, recycled REPREVE fabric and a mid-rise cut that many owners find easier to fit over layers. Pick the Helly Hansen for cold, wet resort days and hard charging; pick the Obermeyer for milder days, a softer fit and a lower-key look around town.
- Choose the Helly Hansen Legendary if you ski in cold, wet conditions and want maximum waterproofing, breathability and venting.
- Choose the Obermeyer Malta if you want a comfortable, adjustable-waist pant for milder days and mixed resort and town use.
